Raspberry Pi Pico + MicroPython: DIY Quadcopter Drone #RaspberryPI #RP2040 @Raspberry_Pi @TimHanewich

Tim Hanewich has developed a DIY quadcopter drone using the Raspberry Pi Pico as the “brain”, running a MicroPython-based custom-developed flight controller to achieve flight.

It can:

  • Read telemetry from an MPU-6050 accelerometer & gyroscope via the I2C protocol
  • Receive radio commands from an onboard receiver via serial communications (UART)
  • Control four independent motors through an ESC via pulse width modulation (PWM)

See tim’e 12-part series on this project here.
